Connecting Self-Control to the Science Curriculum

Self-Control

Apr 13

Interacting with the Environment

For younger students, use the examples of not littering as exercising self-control.

For middle-grade students, discuss how recycling or not recycling affects the environment. Making “green” choices is a form of self-control, such as choosing to pack lunch in reusable containers rather than indulging oneself with the ease of throw-away.

Older students can focus on issues of global warming, renewable energy sources, and conservation as ways of using choices and behaviors to positively impact the environment.
